Great book full of original insights that give depth to a traders system
I found this book to be full of original concepts that have been reiterated and re-spun over the years. A full boat of basic system concepts that would benefit anyone interested in the stock market and or trading versus investing. It helped me differentiate my actions between the hyperbole of over active speculation verse importance of long-term investing. I personally recommend this book highly. Specifically this version due to the useful additions provided by Mr. Wyckoff.
